Such an approach should help ophthalmologists-in-training to grasp basic facts related to the inflammatory ocular diseases… should also be particularly valuable to individuals in the Asia-Pacific region who are interested in management of uveitis and related ocular inflammation….

Book Review

“….is the ideal addition to the clinician’s library, particularly those dealing with this disorder in Asia Pacific who are a less bit familiar with these entities.

The information is presented in a systematic fashion for each disorder, leading the reader through the pertinent facts pertaining to each uveitic entity; not only the clinical findings, but relevant tests and approaches to therapy. This atlas will be seen as indispensable for the clinician seeing patients with these disorders.”

Myopia is the most common optical disorder in the world, and is on the rise in many countries, particularly in East Asia. The impact of myopia is evident as the driving force in the development of refractive surgery and of the spectacle and contact lens industries. While myopia is often seen as a childhood disease that involves complex genetic-environmental factors, it is also a major cause of adult blindness. In Singapore (where myopia has reached one of the highest rates in the world) as well as in Taiwan, Japan and Hong Kong, affected patients have greater severity of myopia, leading to additional secondary complications such as glaucoma.

This book provides a comprehensive coverage of all aspects of myopia. It is aimed at ophthalmologists, optometrists, opticians, scientists and pharmaceutical companies. The topics are uniquely treated in that they cover research at the laboratory bench as well as clinical applications and population-based approaches in epidemiology.
